  12. Child Prodigy • is someone who is a master of one or more skills or arts at an early age. • someone who by the age 11 displays expert proficiency or a profound grasp of the fundamentals in a field usually only undertaken by adults.

  13. Famous Math ProdigiesGalois, Euler, Gauss, Pascal

  14. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) • Born the fifth of seven children. • Parents were farmers in Vermont • Born with six digits on both hands and both feet. • The supernumerary digits had been in the family for four generations. • With very little schooling and not being able to read or write, Zerah at the age of 6 began repeating the multiplication tables to himself. • Zerah began performing in public exhibitions at the age of 6.

  15. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) Questions performed: Admitting the distance between Concord and Boston to be 65 miles, how many steps must I take in going this distance, allowing that I go three feet at a step?

  16. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) Questions performed: Admitting the distance between Concord and Boston to be 65 miles, how many steps must I take in going this distance, allowing that I go three feet at a step? The answer of 114,400 was given in 10 seconds.

  17. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) How many days and hours since the Christian era commenced, 1811 years (Zerah usually assumed a 365-day year and a 30-day month)?

  18. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) How many days and hours since the Christian era commenced, 1811 years (Zerah usually assumed a 365-day year and a 30-day month)? Answered in 20 seconds 661,015 days and 15,864,360 hours.

  19. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) When asked which two numbers multiplied together produce 1242, Zerah gave answers as fast as he could say them:

  20. Zerah Colburn (1804-1840) When asked which two numbers multiplied together produce 1242, Zerah gave answers as fast as he could say them: 54 and 23, 9 and 138, 3 and 414, 6 and 207, 27 and 46, 2 and 621.

  21. Zerah Colburn After his fathers passing in December 1822, Zerah returned home and pursued a simple life. The rest of his days would see him make astronomical calculations for observatories, engage in ministerial duties, and teach modern and classical languages and literature. On March 2, 1840, the Reverend Zerah Colburn died, a husband and father of three daughters.

  22. George Parker Bidder(1806-1878) • Born on June 14, 1806, to a stonemason in Moreton Hampstead, England. • When Bidder was enrolled at the village school at the age of six, he found that it was not much to his taste. • Bidder began to teach himself to count fives and tens and then set about to learn the multiplication table with the use of marbles and peas.

  23. George Parker Bidder • His early days saw Bidder spend many hours with a local blacksmith. • As the months passed, Bidder still had not received any formal instruction. While working with the blacksmith, Bidder would be given new ideas from people who would come to test his powers. People would continually encourage Bidder to improve and master his peculiar faculty until the time when his talent was almost incredible. • At the age of 10, Bidder reached a point where he could multiply 12 places of figures with 12 figures. • Bidder’s father soon saw the financial promise that his son’s talent could generate. Withdrawing him from school, Bidder’s father took his son about the country for the purpose of exhibition.

  24. George Parker Bidder Here are some typical questions put to and answered by Bidder in his exhibitions during the years 1815-1819. If the moon be distant from the Earth 123,256 miles and sound travels at a rate of 4 miles per minute, how long would it be before the inhabitants of the moon could hear of the battle of Waterloo?

  25. George Parker Bidder Here are some typical questions put to and answered by Bidder in his exhibitions during the years 1815-1819. If the moon be distant from the Earth 123,256 miles and sound travels at a rate of 4 miles per minute, how long would it be before the inhabitants of the moon could hear of the battle of Waterloo? Ans. 2 days, 9 hrs and 34 min in less than a minute.

  26. George Parker Bidder If the pendulum of a clock vibrates the distance of 9¾ inches in a second of time, how many inches will it vibrate in 7 years, 14 days, 2 hours, 1 minute and 56 seconds?

  27. George Parker Bidder If the pendulum of a clock vibrates the distance of 9¾ inches in a second of time, how many inches will it vibrate in 7 years, 14 days, 2 hours, 1 minute and 56 seconds? With each year being 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 55 seconds, the answer, in less than a minute, was 2,165,625,744 ¾ inches.

  28. George Parker Bidder If the globe is 24,912 miles in circumference, and a balloon travels 3,878 feet in a minute, how long would it be in travelling round the world?

  29. George Parker Bidder If the globe is 24,912 miles in circumference, and a balloon travels 3,878 feet in a minute, how long would it be in travelling round the world? Ans. in 2 minutes – 23 days, 13 hours, 18 min

  30. George Parker Bidder Accomplishments: • Played a significant role in the construction of Norway’s first railway. • Served as engineer-in-chief of the Royal Danish railway. • Advisor for the Metropolitan Board of London regarding draining and purification of the river Thames. • Of all his accomplishments and endeavours, Bidder is most known for his construction and development of the Victoria Docks. When one thinks of the early nineteenth century, during the time of great engineering accomplishments, one must not overlook one of the foremost engineers of the time, George Parker Bidder.

  31. Up until the last days of his life, Bidder had retained his calculating abilities. When in conversation with his friend, a query was suggested that if the speed of light was 190,000 mi/s, and the wavelength of the red rays at 36,918 to an inch, how many of its waves must strike the eye in one second? As his friend takes out a pencil in an attempt to write out the calculations, Bidder says: “You need not work it out…the number of vibrations will be 444,433,651,200,000”. Two days later, on September 28, 1878, George Parker Bidder died.

  32. “He is probably the most outstanding mental calculator of all peoples and all time”.

  33. “He is probably the most outstanding mental calculator of all peoples and all time”. Johann Dase was the one who uttered these words, and of the person he was referring to…

  34. Johann Dase (1824-1861) “He is probably the most outstanding mental calculator of all peoples and all time”. Johann Dase was the one who uttered these words, and of the person he was referring to… he was referring to himself.

  35. Johann Dase (1824-1861) • Born in Hamburg, Germany on June 23, 1824, the son of a distiller. • Very little is known of Dase’s ancestry. As for Dase himself, he began schooling at the age of two and a half years. • Although he began at an early age, Dase attributes his ability to later practice and not his early instruction.

  36. Johann Dase (1824-1861) At the age of 15, Dase began travelling through Germany, Denmark and England performing in public exhibitions. In 1840, while in Vienna, Dase was introduced to scientific work. Under the guidance of a mathematics professor, Dase was shown how to compute π. Having worked on this problem for nearly two months, Dase had successfully computed π to 205 places.

  37. Johann Dase (1824-1861) What could Dase do?

  38. Johann Dase (1824-1861) What could Dase do? • Dase was able to count at a glance the number of peas thrown on a table and instantly added the spots on a group of dominoes.

  39. Johann Dase (1824-1861) What could Dase do? • Dase was able to count at a glance the number of peas thrown on a table and instantly added the spots on a group of dominoes. • He could multiply mentally two numbers each of twenty figures in 6 min; of forty figures in 40 min and one hundred figures in 8 hours.

  40. Johann Dase (1824-1861) What could Dase do? • Dase was able to count at a glance the number of peas thrown on a table and instantly added the spots on a group of dominoes. • He could multiply mentally two numbers each of twenty figures in 6 min; of forty figures in 40 min and one hundred figures in 8 hours. • He extracted mentally the square root of a number of 100 figures in 52 minutes.

  41. Johann Dase (1824-1861) When the number 935,173,853,927 was given, Dase was proficient enough to repeat it forwards and backwards after just glancing at it for a mere second. Dase had offered to multiply this number by any number offered. When 7 was chosen, Dase immediately replied 6,546,216,977,489. An hour later, just before he was to depart from his exhibition, Dase was asked if he could still recall the number that was discussed earlier. Dase instantaneously repeated the number forward and backward.

  42. Johann Dase (1824-1861) Dase passed away in 1861 at the age of 37. What can be said about Dase is that he desperately desired to produce something of value for the mathematics and science community. In the end, all that this math prodigy wished for was to leave his mark on the world.

  43. Jacques Inaudi (1867-1950) • Born to a poor Italian family on October 13, 1867. • Spent most of his early youth tending to sheep. • At the age of 6, began to calculate in an attempt to compensate for his boredom while attending to the livestock. • By the age of 7, Inaudi was able to multiply 5 figures by 5 figures. With such a special talent having been discovered, Inaudi and his elder brother travelled to many major cities across Europe demonstrating his abilities in public exhibitions.

  44. Jacques Inaudi (1867-1950) • Inaudi’s exhibition program consisted of 6 questions:

  45. Jacques Inaudi (1867-1950) • Inaudi’s exhibition program consisted of 6 questions: 1. a subtraction involving two 21-digit numbers
